I’ve been counting calories & working out for the past . . .ummmm . . . 4-5 months (geeze it seems longer) I started at 215 lbs. Well, my last known weight was 215, I actually didn’t weigh myself when I started to diet.. I’m pretty sure it was more than that when I started though.

I’ve lost about 15 lbs (I fluctuate anywhere between 202 & 197 on any given day) It’s great. My blouses that were too tight fit now (my boobies don’t try to pop open the buttons anymore) my jeans fit (I don’t work a sweat when putting on) and I fit into my ‘skinny’ bra now.

I’m eating approx 1,500 calories a day (which sometime is super hard to do and other days I’ll have 600+ calories left over) and I’m working on the elliptical & doing Pilates 2 times a week. Over the summer I was walking to dog a lot more also. But now the rain has started and I’m not walking her nearly as much anymore (she lost about 8 lbs also! Yay puppy!)

So, my goal is to get down to 175 by the end of April, for my 40th birthday. I want to go on vacation & not feel ‘fat’ in a baiting suit.

I don’t know how I’m going to do it because I fell like I’ve been at this 200 mark for a few weeks now. I’m loosing steam & the weekends are sooooo hard for me. I just want to ‘nibble’ on everything.

I’m going to try to post here my weight statuses . . . .maybe that will keep me in line & motivated.
